ECOTECH PUMP DRIVER FIRMWARE UPDATE
The WWD and EcoSmart drivers must be updated to a minimum firmware level before they
can be controlled by the WXM. See Table 1 - Minimum Firmware Versions for minimum
firmware versions.
The firmware version installed on an EcoTech Marine pump driver can be determined by
counting the LED blinking sequence when the pump is initially powered on. The major
revision is indicated by the number of green blinks while the minor revision by the number
of blue blinks. For example, 3 green blinks followed by 1 blue blink indicates version 3.1.

update EcoSmart pumps that have not been connected or configured to connect to the
